great food for bikini season


Walnuts
Though high in calories, walnuts contain protein, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids to keep you feeling full. Try a small handful (10-12) as a midafternoon snack, or throw a few into your salad at lunch. 

Try this: 
Spinach salad with strawberries, grilled chicken, walnuts and poppyseed dressing... This is my all time favorite salad, delicioso! 



Green Tea
Speeds up your metabolism, helping your body to burn fat more quickly. 

Try this:
Mix your tea with a fat free milk and splenda, promise it's not your average cup of tea :) 



High Fiber Foods
Foods that are high in fiber take longer to digest, keeping you feeling full longer.

Try this:
Oatmeal or whole grain foods are always good, but try artichoke hearts.   My best friend taught me this recipe, drain the can, peel them in half, put the in a pan with some oil and garlic, and mix some lemon juice and garlic salt in there. Let it cook covered for about 10 mins and then sprinkle some mozzarella on the top, let it melt, and its ready togo!





Cucumbers
Fruits or vegetables with a high water content—including lettuce, cantaloupe and watermelon—fill you up with fewer calories. Bonus: The vitamins and antioxidants will boost your immune system.

Try This:
You guys are going to think this girl is a chef after you try my second favorite recipe of hers, cucumber salad. Cut up cucumbers bite size, mix with a few splashes rice vinegar and sprinkle garlic salt on top! Add a little Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette for some extra flavor!
